After his appearance on Frigio Allstars Vol 3, Scannoir (also half member of the amazing GOTT project) delivers his first full length EP with "Through My Silence".

Emotive and raw, the style pursued blurs the lines between synth wave, EBM and techno. "Industrial Technology" opens with a driving and steadily increasing buildup that finds its peak with a wink in the late eighties New Beat/Techno era. Followed by "Get Ready (but sorry)" which entertains with powerful drums, thick strings and rumbling chords while samples and distant lyrics recite the coming of change. The breadth of Scannoir’s style is truly remarkable, with this amazing 5 track EP being emblematic of his range. The flip takes a different direction, the lovelorn lament of “Through My Silence” melts sweetened synth lines with cold pain-streaked words before blooming into a brooding burner. A shaky alliance between samples and vocals runs through the rhythmic assault and violent undertones of “Why Old News.” The closure comes with the marching melancholy of “Alles Wird Gut”, a dark and moody end to this debut EP.

PREMIERE : Scannoir - Get Ready (but sorry)

MM PREMIERES are meant to transcend the ordinary and immerse themselves in the sacred realm of music, beholding the unseen and embracing the new melodic tapestry even before it unveils itself to the world.

About the album:
This is a soundtrack to imaginary nightime streetscapes in a world that resembles our own.
Crumbling asphalt slick with oil and grease reflects the woozy glow of late night bodegas in acrid pink, yellow and green.
Drakkar Noir is a feceless figure who inhabits this world, an alias shamelessly lifted from a sleazy and long out-of-fashion scent, a brand name derived from a mashup of mythical pretensions and hollow advertising jargon. Part Human and part digital fiction, Drakkar Noir is, like the city itself, a shapeshifter who feeds and is fed by the collective dreams and nightmares floating above the buildings and into smoke-filled skies.

MM PREMIERE 001 | Drakkar Noir - All Fours [FU.ME Rec]

We are happy to welcome UK-based artist KMBN (@feelthedrive) to the catalog. We have been appreciating his work over the years and are thrilled to have him on board. “Never Wanted to Dance” offers 4 original tracks reminiscent of the spirit and energy of the New Beat and Electro sound we all love.

The title track “Never Wanted to Dance” lures you in with slow darkwave synth arpeggiation, along with haunting vocals from Sean Goldring.
“IDrank” embarks on a countdown to synth module frenzy, perfect for peak-time debauchery.
Next up is “Some Scary Entity Thing,” which pays homage to a Belgium New Beat anthem. The seductive acid synth line will make you want to lose yourself in this future classic.
“Waiting for You,” an electro-hysteric track with dystopian vocals, closes out the release.

“Never Wanted To Dance” is out on July 14th, 2023.

𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙚 : Leonard Lampion - Half Revolution [Bella Ursa]

In the uninspiring corners of open-space offices, and administrative work, some employees find a space for resistance and creativity through subversion and sabotage, against the anger generated by the neutral and cruel absurdity of the corporate environment.

In this compilation, Nice Guise engages with transpersonal subjects such as mental health, work place abuse and sexuality. For the past two years, while touring through Brussels with their abrupt live performance, Nice Guise has been fostering collective experiences where repressed personal emotions get to be shared on the dancefloor.

Nice Guise crystallizes their ongoing activity with the collection Candid shots. Like an aggregate in the orbs of the post-punk movement and the remnants of the Dada avant-garde, the band presents studio sessions, concert recordings, and sonic residues on the same level, thus making poor material their inspiration.

Release date: 26th October, 2023.

Premiere: Nice Guise - Flamand Rose [ESITU Records]

English:
Impair Pierre is Léonard Lampion's new alias, created as an escape route from dark basements and the influence of club music. Since 2017, Impair Pierre has been writing songs in his office in Grenoble using synthesisers, guitar, and voice. Finding inspiration in the events of everyday life, he seeks to develop a form of minimalism.

Promenades de jour - this record developed from a desire to write songs that were relatively refined and spontaneous. It brings together experiments with the Yamaha PS-20 synth, songs imbued with a certain melancholy, and others with a more satirical bent. The record is a succession of photos, landscapes, and situations both real and imaginary, like a walk in the spring sun.

French: 
Impair Pierre est le nouvel alias de Léonard Lampion créé pour sortir des caves sombres et s’affranchir de l’influence du club. Impair Pierre écrit des chansons depuis son bureau de Grenoble depuis 2017 avec différents synthétiseurs, sa guitare et chante sur certains morceaux. L’inspiration lui vient du quotidien et il recherche une forme de minimalisme.

Promenades de jour - L’album naît de la volonté d’écrire des chansons, relativement épurées et spontanées. Il regroupe des expérimentations inspirées par le synthé yamaha PS-20, des chansons imprégnées d’un certaine mélancolie et d’autres plus satiriques. L’album est une succession de photos, paysages, situations vécues ou imaginées, comme une promenade sous le soleil de printemps.

Impair Pierre - Rencontre

MM PREMIERES are meant to transcend the ordinary and immerse themselves in the sacred realm of music, beholding the unseen and embracing the new melodic tapestry even before it unveils itself to the world.

La Ballade De L'Homme Fin is the track we are premiering today - a soft post-punkish vibe track. Also, it's worth noting that the album's release is just around the corner, scheduled for November 2nd. Impair Pierre, the alter ego of Léonard Lampion, emerged in 2017 as an escape from club music's influence. From his Grenoble office, he blends synthesizers, guitar, and vocals to create music inspired by daily life, pursuing artistic minimalism.

His latest album, "Promenades de jour," was born from a longing to create songs that capture a refined yet spontaneous essence. This musical collection weaves together experiments with the Yamaha PS-20 synthesiser, songs with a touch of melancholy, and those bearing a satirical edge. It unfolds like a series of snapshots, providing glimpses into both real and imaginary landscapes and scenarios, evoking the sensation of a leisurely springtime stroll.
